Podocarpus_elatus_two_seed_conesKCons provides an ID service for native plants of our area. To make identification easier, it is helpful if you can provide as much as possible of the material and information listed below  – not always an easy task with rainforest giants! But if you have mature seeds only, this is often enough to provide an accurate ID.

♦ Seeds, mature preferably

♦ Several, fresh mature leaves attached to a branch

♦ Flowers, buds

♦  Bark – small piece and/or description

♦ Location

♦ Habit – tree, vine, shrub, fern or herb?

♦ Height
